My sister Katie challenged me to write ten stanzas describing myself. Since I was supposed to be doing homework today I gladly took the challenge. The following are ten stanzas comprized of words A-Z which some how describe me. I tried to also craft the overall meaning to describe me as well but ran out of steam toward the end. I hope you enjoy this little diversion as much as I did.
The Vocabulary of Me
Zealously aspiring toward
more than what I've known how
A backward downward dog am I
Yogini present in the now
Controlling freak-ish nature
my introspect derivative
A xanthippe I have realized -
not too late to change and live
Dychotomy a function of my
needs and wants, dislikes and loves
Wife of both joy and sadness -
these - to strength give birth of
Though sometimes I am quietness
mine's a vocal nature true
and lazy though I wish to be
that torpid way do I rue
Unassuming other's motives
I forget Life's treacheries
Grateful for my doppelganger,
Twin of guileless tendancies
Sarcastic though at times I am
these parts make up a sum of me
I'm working hard to work it in
I'll demonstrate and you'll see
Rambling through my means toward end,
please read between all the lines
Swiss Chocolate Orange ice cream love,
that dearness of harder times
Procrastinating English work -
poetry's a bit of fun
A kind-hearted one thought of me,
to get me writing - that's the pun
Obstinate madness of my ways
I jay-walk through convention
But though I balk the laureate
I meet all my intentions
This mother's birthed a masterpiece
in a life of diverse ways
I nose through business - yours and mine
seeking meaning in my days
Pitchapalooza ends tomorrow...

This is amazing! I'm so glad you took me up on my challenge (only the second person to do so, sadly...)
